This year it barely rained and although I was hoping for a flood like Hurricane Laila, that didn’t happen. Nevertheless I just got back from my parents home where they experienced their on “indoor” flood. Some filter connected to their washing machine blew and within 15 minutes the 2 floors of the apartment were completely flooded. I rushed over quickly to help out with the mopping and drying but I think most of the damage was already done. Electronics wise one TV got burned and an unused dvd player got soaked which is no biggie but the ground floor of the apartment has wooden floors and I think thats going to show the most damage tomorrow once it expands from all the water it absorbed.
Kinda makes me paranoid about my apartment now, my computer room is littered with cables and power plugs all lying on the floor and even my computer is there too. My living room is the same thing with cables, routers, xbox and amp all on the floor under the cabinet. If my apartment had gotten flooded I think I would have gotten pretty fucked. So just a heads up, home flooding can happen and you don’t need a hurricane.

you can to make sure drain cover in kitchen floor not full cover so water can escape.
Dear Mark i was wondering were did you get ure desk chaires from?
I’m so sorry for what happened at your parent’s!
becareful with the plugs and connectors. Kuwait’s electricity has not been stable for awhile now (sayra zift o troo7 wityey ib less than a sec) causing shorts and sometimes sparks. my brother’s room got burned and the fire was going to eat the entire floor it wasn’t for God’s mercy!
be careful with the wires Mark.
i meant IF it wasn’t for God’s mercy
” kha6ahom el sow”, as we say … which means for non Kuwaiti/Arabic speakers thanks GOD who saved them and the evil have passed them. Well, mark you can do a simple checks to all of your apartment water’s connections in your bathroom and kitchen.
